Given the premise of your patches,
quoted hunk
+++ b/net/mac80211/iface.c@@ -1620,6 +1620,7 @@ int ieee80211_if_add(struct ieee80211_local *local, const char *name, + IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_HEADROOM; ndev->needed_tailroom = IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_TAILROOM; + ndev->name_assign_type = NET_NAME_USER;
this is wrong because we call this in main.c with a "wlan%d" argument for the name, which gets expanded. johannes
